						Internet Explorer is ideal for making quick fixes (especially if you need to quickly update your website while on the move), but it&#39;s not really a complete FTP solution. There&#39;s no feedback, so it&#39;s not uncommon for the software to apparently hang while it&#39;s uploading large amounts of data. It also seems to be much slower than dedicated FTP clients.</li>
